Last night I received a completely unexpected call from a guy I had gone on a few dates with years ago. We hadn’t spoken in over 2 years.
I could tell, when we met 8 years ago, that he was a good person, had a good heart, but his behavior to me was not kind at the time. He had been through very difficult times and his anger was spilling over into every area of his life, including our dates.
Needless to say we did not date long yet I always remained kind to him. He would message every once in a while and I would be kind again. And then I got the call last night... A call to apologize, to show remorse, to confirm that I had done nothing wrong, that I did not deserve his wrath.
Ironically on the same day a business acquaintance treated me unkindly as well. Regardless of our differences of opinions I chose kindness in the face of unkindness.
In life we always have a choice: we can ACT or REACT! No doubt, there are times we must set boundaries, stand up for what is right and have our voice heard when it is taken for granted (which I had to do in a 3rd situation on that very same day - busy day!) and there are also times that kindness is just the best weapon when the other wants to go into battle ! 🙏🏼⚔️
